Hi Chairman,
I think it's outrageous that your doc will not prescribe an MAOI. Do you suspect he suggest the "big 10" for personal financial reasons or lack of knowledge or experience with MAOIs? These meds carry a horrible stigma and prejudice. They do wonders for those who can put up with so unwanted side-effects.
I experienced orthostatic hypostension and fainting for a few weeks. They, with others subsided. Then came some GI problems and eventually substantial weight gain. Just to name a few. The last two componded my problem considering my obsessive body-image issue. Then after all that it eventually "pooped out".
Sorry I'm such a downer. I guess misery really does love company? lol. No, but seriously Ace is a wonderful example MAOI potential. I truely wish you the best!
> Man, all this talk of Nardil makes me jealous. I have few resources and am stuck with a public doctor who does 10-minute med consults, refusing me everything except the big 10 antidepressants. I'm on Effexor now, which is better than nothing, but does little for social phobia. I know what MAOIs are capable of, and I deserve it. Someday ...
